The message that continues to make its presence known is centered around transformation; letting go of what we hold onto so tightly, to allow for what is next to come through.

In Avatar there was a line: “It is hard to fill a cup that is already full.” When we spend our time and energy holding on to what WAS rather than looking into today and seeing what IS, we are robbing ourselves of the potential we all carry. Spirit is speaking to us daily, offering us opportunities to create change, to be the architects of our own destiny. Sitting still, we miss out on the gifts and miracles that will be the catalyst to transform our pain, our need to control, our fear, our self-destruction into healing, trust, peace, self-esteem and LOVE.

Can you imagine? Love knocks on your door, desiring to be the center of your life, but asking you one thing in return: you must give and receive her unconditionally. You must put your ego on the shelf, quiet the need to be right, to be understood, to have it your own way…and choose…to LOVE. We must allow ourselves to be broken, so that what we cannot see, but most need can enter the cracks of our soul, of our heart, and weave love into every crevice.

It was 3 or 4 years ago now that I did some work with Debbie Unterman, an alchemical hypnotherapist here in Atlanta. During one of our sessions, I remember so clearly saying that I couldn’t let go, I couldn’t feel or relinquish control because I was like an egg – and if I did let go – I was going to break. And from that session I learned, it was ok to break, for there would be a new me born of what remained. I can promise you that my life has changed dramatically since then; perhaps less on the outside than from within. My controller worked hard inside of my emotions, quieting my voice, dampening my spirit. There were some very tough places along the way, in which I certainly did feel emptiness. But love has and continues to fill those spaces, opening me to richness I could only have imagined.

Take a chance, let go, allow yourself to break, knowing the love and light will fill you up if you let it. Open yourself, your spirit; listen to your own voice. For it is then you will hear the whispers of your heart.

Perhaps others of you saw this link this morning – for 2011 horoscopes on Yahoo’s homepage. Typically I’ll read some of these and can “take it or leave it” – but today I was really drawn to and felt connected with many of the astrological readings for my sign. What a year it’s going to be!! If you have any interest in fun astrology – to be taken lightly or more seriously, check out this page: 2011 Horoscopes . I would love to hear any feedback you might have after reading the outlook for your own sign and what 2011 will bring you.

This is an incredible time of year! We are on the threshold of what is yet to come. Stepping into a new year allows us to step into fresh, new energy in our lives. We can pause and look ahead, contemplating what we wish for ourselves in this new space. I’m not one for resolutions, but I do very much believe that we can co-create what we desire to be part of our journey, any time of year. And yet…..there is something exciting about tomorrow being 2011!

Doesn’t it feel as if the new year awaits us with open arms? Asking us how we see ourselves now…and going forward. There are so many realms in which we could check in with ourselves…how will we love? What kind of work will allow us to most creatively use the talents and abilities we have been given? Where would we like to orchestrate change? In what areas of our life are we so blessed, we must remember to practice gratitude? How can we live a life that practices what we believe in and feel most passionate about?

Each of these questions holds its own power. As you contemplate even one of them, you call to your inner self and the Universal energy that guides your path. Along with or in place of your resolutions this year, check in with your soul’s compass. See where you might be drawn to go, what calling you hear from within. Invite an energy shift into the course of your daily life.

Are you in tune with your spirit’s voice? Perhaps this is the perfect time to be still long enough to hear what your heart might whisper to you.
